We live about 15 ks from where temperature is officially measured. We live in a more elevated area than where the weather station is, and our house is set back from the coast; whereas, the weather station is very close to the coast. We get frosts where there would be few if any where the weather station is. So the temperature we experience is often higher or lower than experienced at the weather station.
But, as stated many times; climate change does not hinge on temperature measured, the environment displays changes in temperature:
.thawing of permafrost
.the atmosphere holding more water vapour
.problems running the Iditarod dog sled race due to lack of snow and ice experienced over more than a decade.
.high temperatures in freshwater and ocean water bodies. Shown by the moving of marine creatures North and South of the Equator. The Gulf of Mexico has had quite an influence on recent rain bombs experienced by the US.
.glaciers disappearing.
